Book 12 of 12: Forever Yours

See all formats and editions

James Delaney, Lord Kingsley’s best friend’s dying wish was that he marry his spinster sister. Unluckily, James is honor-bound to fulfill another oath and can never marry Miss Poppy Ashford, no matter how delightfully charming and sensual he finds her.

Treated horridly by her stepmother and half-sisters, Poppy has little to anticipate for her future. She is stunned when the devilishly handsome and most sought-after Lord Kingsley suggests a scheme that might make her more eligible and appealing to the marriage-minded gentlemen of society. Eager at the chance of a future that is more than her working as a governess, Poppy agrees to his lessons—even the ones in kissing!

Poppy knows every laugh, dance, and stolen kiss is a pretense. So why did James make her heart throb so strongly, and why did her impossible dreams now include an earl she had little hope of ever marrying?

Ms. Reid is at the top of my ‘Fav’ list!

5 stars all the way! I could not put her books down. I have only one criticism, the one sex scene in the books I have read are absolutely romantic; BUT get to explicit. However it does not take away my joy in reading an actually romantic romance novel. Such chemistry in the characters!

Sweet Cinderellaesque Romance with a twist

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the H and h. They were nuanced, even though the book was on the shortish side.

The main plot involves a young, gently bred woman who was emotionally and financially abandoned by her father when he remarried and had two new daughters with his new wife. She is forced to act as unpaid companion and servant to her two sisters and stepmother when her father dies. The one person who loves her - her brother, a soldier - is mortally wounded in the war and dies leaving her to the mercy of her cruel stepmother and mean stepsisters.

Unbeknownst to the heroine, however, her brother has asked his best friend - our hero - to marry her in the event he dies because he knows his father did not provide a dowry for his beloved sister. There’s just one catch, the hero is not available to marry after he unexpectedly becomes the Earl of Kingsley and must honor his dead brother’s commitments. Still, his honor, and an unwanted attraction to his best friend’s sister, has him wanting to ensure her future. So, he proposes helping her find a suitable husband.

You will laugh and cry as these two claw their way to a HEA. The heat level is a 4.5 of five but sensual and sexy. I would have enjoyed an epilogue.

A Love Worth Fighting For

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022

What a marvelously heart-warming story! While the parallel to the story about Cinderella is clear, I love the way Poppy’s “prince” (James) plays both fairy godmother and, ultimately, her hero that saves her from an unhappy future. Add to that the ultimate evil of money - or lack of it - and the plot continues to thicken as the happily ever after seems farther and farther away. Interestingly, though you have the nasty set-mother and step-sisters, the true villain is someone removed from the family and deepens the sense of looming failure. The author has a gift for story telling where her characters seem to be be so real, one wants to join the conversations and offer support. I thoroughly enjoy Ms Reid’s books and encourage you to read one if you are not familiar with her writing.

I tremendously enjoyed James and Poppy's love adventures. It is gratifying to read of happier ever after stories and to get lost in them. . Stacy has done a wonderful job and I love reading her stories. They are short enough to finish in one setting and they keep you reading until the end. I highly recommend them.

Good plot, contains porn

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

This was a half Cinderella & half whatever story..stepdaughter, 2 stepsisters & stepmom..the prince couldn't stay away from her..no grand ball or lost slipper though. Just an earl who took on his brother's title, responsibilities & debts, including a marriage contract. It ends happily with only 1 pornographic scene, which is one too many, plus a few sexual feelings & some British cursing. I hate to explain this to the author, but they're still curse words even if they aren't American ones. And porn is still porn. Too bad for this author...no fan of her work here!

I love a good romance historical novel. This one was perfect for a short read. Well, it may have been short because I couldn't put it down. It is well written, with some twists that keep you interested.

I really enjoyed this kind of Cinderella story, even though the dialogue and some of the events were not society norms at the time.

Sweet romance

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

Although I am not a big fan overall, I do periodically find myself drawn to sweet stories of seemingly ill rehired couples, particularly if at least one of the couple is of a lower social rank than the other during the time just before and during the reign of Queen Victoria. Author Stacey reed has provided these elements in My One and Only Earl. It's not a spoiler to say that this story ends as all fairy tales must, with a ''Happily Ever After.'' Meeting one challenge after another as Fate tries to deny them their happiness, Poppy and James go through their private bells as they staunchly deny their growing romantic attraction to each other. Of course they are fooling no one, at least no one who matters, as they come to realize their love for each other. The story has more explicit critics descriptions of the scenes leading tothe tale"s climax, more than the fairy tales I read as a child. With a little bit of Cinderella as a general background, the author constructs a sweet story that satisfied my desire for a love story for the grownup me.

This is a wonderfully created addition to this amazing series. The strong and brilliantly portrayed characters keep this steamy story entertaining throughout this very engaging book.
